“If you are going to do something here, you’ve got to do it big,” shares Shelton. “Every time I’m in Vegas, I want some country music and Ole Red is the remedy for that.”

Ole Red Las Vegas has broken ground in front of Caesars Entertainment’s Horseshoe Las Vegas at the Grand Bazaar Shops, on the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. At approximately 27,000 square feet with a planned 686 seats, Ole Red Las Vegas is slated to be the brand’s largest location to date and the first in the western United States.

Additional details of the four-story venue include:

  • First & Second Floors: Visitors can dig into scratch-made dishes in a laid-back dining area and experience concert-caliber country music from their seats. When the sun goes down, the space transforms into a full-blown honky-tonk with dance floors and designated VIP areas for a Vegas-style Ole Red experience.
  • Third Floor: Decked out with sophisticated lounge seating, advanced audio and visual technology, and high-end decor, the third floor serves as an overflow area for the restaurant, higher end VIP experiences, and a private event space for groups. Bottle service is available and the third-floor menu includes elevated offerings on top of Ole Red favorites.
  • Rooftop: The rooftop offers a casual restaurant environment during the day and a rooftop lounge at night. With premium cocktail flights, live music and DJ sets, and an unbeatable view of the Las Vegas strip, this is a space for private events and VIP guests. The rooftop menu includes Ole Red classics during the day and shareable items in the evening.
